Photography might at present be considered the visual medium that is most pervasive and at the same time rapidly changing, due to trends and fashions. In the digital age that we live in, I am facing these challenges by producing classy, high-end images of both objects and people. In view of my object photography, I portrait luxuries, collectables and everyday items as if they were alive, setting the scene through a versatile use of lights and props. Concerning people, by comparison, I represent the human face creating distinctive and visually appealing imagery with an eye for detail, be it body, hair, or face. The unique feature of my photography is my straightforward, almost minimal approach as well as my concrete yet imaginative use of materials and technique.

Development and realization of visual concepts for customers in the fields of fashion, music, portrait and reportage.

I work and live as a freelance filmmaker and photographer in my adopted hometown Hamburg.After college entrance, I started my vocational training as a photographer. Then I started working for Volker Wenzlawski as a freelance photo assistant. The digital transformation in the sector offered the opportunity to enter into professional image editing. In 2010 I started to familiarize myself with camera work, video editing and color grading. This was followed by orders for image and music clips.
Today, I develop and realize visual conceps for fashion, music, portrait and reportage clients and be supported by a large creative network of graphic artists, illustrators, designers, musicians, cinematographers and photographers.

Jennifer´s work focuses on Fashion, People and Portrait Photography. She is juggling between fine art projects and commissioned work. As a german native she was educated in Hamburg and Los Angeles. She received a bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and specialized in Fashion Photography. As a photographer she works very intuitive and draws her inspiration mainly through fictional cinema and subcultures derived from extensive travel that takes her to very remote locations. The almost Documentary Photography comes to play as an intrinsic act which is nourished by a genuine interest in understanding cultures and liberation on a deeper level. The body of work teaches that the world is nothing but the reflection of our inner state. She sees herself growing in the craft beyond boundaries of commissioned work.

Soaking the wonders of life. My approach is not an objective and independent observing. It is rather an understanding and feeling myself as a part of nature and responding to it in my own unique way. I am interested in what is beyond and often hidden. In the city`s periphery where the urban starts to crumble I feel getting very close to see what´s underneath. By offering myself to the world authentically, I can lose control to explore the unknown and random of life´s complexity and unpredictability. Wonder lies in nature´s order and disorder, in darkness as well as in light. My intention is to tap its energy through my work.
